I found a new application for Tindebox: clearing multilevel numeration in agreements to apply then my own numeration rules. Here is the coding for the stamp:
$ClearText=$Text.tr([0-9],x); $Text=$ClearText; $ClearText=$Text.replace (“x.”,""); $Text=$ClearText;
It worked perfect, but some paragraphs have extra spaces at the beginning. Could anyone suggest how to get rid of them using actions? I will appreciate any help.
As you set $Text to $ above you don’t actually need the ClearText attribute:
$Text=$Text.tr([0-9],x);
$Text=$Text.replace ("x.","");
This works for me
$Text = $Text.replace("^\ +", "").replace("\n\ +","\n");
This sets $Text to itself after two chained replace() operations. The first removes one or more literal spaces at the start of $Text (i.e. paragraph #1). The second operation covers the other paragraphs by looking for a line-break followed by one or more literal spaces and replacing that with just a line break (i.e removing the just the spaces).
I don’t believe you can collapse those two operations into one, but I’d be happy to be wrong.
I think some changes in the upcoming v9 might make this task a bit easier, or at least more intuitive, so by all means raise the subject again when v9 is out.
Mark thank you for your reply. Both pieces of code worked perfectly. I am looking forward to v9.
Raised !
The current public release is v8.9.2. v9 will be soon, but not yet!
